ABC Has A New Show Called 'Selfie' — Here's What It's All About (It's Just As Bad As It Sounds)

ABC's new show "Selfie" premiered earlier this week. It's about a woman named Eliza Dooley (it's supposed to sound like My Fair Lady's Eliza Doolittle), who needs a personality makeover. The show makes light of people who are obsessed with their phones and social media.

Dooley is "Instafamous" with 263,000 Instagram followers — but then something humiliating happens and she realizes she doesn't actually have any friends. That's when she asks her colleague, Henry, for help becoming a better person.

"Selfie's" main character is Eliza Dooley. Dooley grew up being "most Butt" in high school. Butt, as in ugly. So she modeled herself after the most popular girl in her school and grew up to be beautiful but vapid.

Dooley boasts that she has 263,000 Instagram followers, making her "Instafamous," which she thinks makes her complete. That, paired with the fact that she's her pharmaceutical company's best sales representative.

But while on a flight with all her co-workers, something mortifying happens to Eliza.

And it makes her throw up.

Then her throw up leaks all over herself, and her Louboutins.

Eliza returns to her apartment to find her neighbor and her neighbor's book club in the elevator. She really doesn't like them very much.

Eliza gets home to her apartment, stilling sick from the plane ride. But none of her friends will check on her or give her Ginger Ale. That's when she has a realization: "When Siri is the only person who’s there for you, it kind of makes you realize, being friended isn’t the same thing as having friends."

The next day at work, Eliza realizes no one has forgotten her plane mishap, and they're still making fun of her.

Meanwhile, her colleague Henry — who is a marketing guru — gets congratulated by the CEO. One of the company's products got pulled from shelves, and Henry helped the company get over a PR disaster. He "took a product that had been badly tarnished and rebranded it," the CEO says.

Eliza gets an idea: Maybe this Henry fellow could rebrand her as well. She waits for Henry in his office after the meeting to ask.

Henry, who thinks she's self-absorbed, initially refuses to help Eliza.
